Frills and Thrills

Dress: American Gold Tristessa Tank (here)

Knitted Sweater: Chaser Brand

Booties: Kelsi Dagger (on sale here)

Bracelets: Vanessa Mooney

Pendulum Ring: Unearthen (from Spanish Moss here)

The weather in LA has slowly been creeping up to the high 80s this week and I couldn't be more thrilled. I celebrated the summer-like weather with this adorable American Gold tank (worn as a dress because short girls like me can kind of get away with stuff like that lol). I just made sure that I wore Spanx underneath for the occasional gust of wind that's bound to blow my dress up and expose me if I didn't.

Since my dress had a simplistic A-line silhouette with minimal looped detailing at the hemlines, I decided to just pile on the jewelry for a little more pizzazz. I may have gone a bit overboard but I felt like being outrageous that day (or I wouldn't have worn a tank as a dress). I do plan on wearing this "dress" properly as a tank top by pairing it with some cute bell bottom pants once the weather in LA starts to cool down again.

**Styling Tips (for the vertically challenged like me):

Wear a short dress because the more leg that's exposed, the longer your legs appear.
Think Monochrome! Wearing one color will trick others into thinking you're taller than you actually are because the eyes will travel through the whole outfit from head to heels. *note that darker colors are obviously going to be more slimming*
Pair pants, tights, or socks with the same colored heels. It's the same idea as dressing in one color. *if you're going sockless/tightless with a dress, try pairing your dress with nude heels and try to avoid ankle boots*

On the Fringe

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend with their loved ones!

I celebrated mine with a traditional Thanksgiving dinner Thursday night at my house and then took a family trip up to Pismo Beach the following day. While we were up there, we visited the Monarch Butterfly Grove, Lopez Lake, and went shopping at little boutiques in Arroyo Grande. I sadly missed out completely on Black Friday shopping, but that's what Cyber Mondays are for!

Thanksgiving is not about all those materialistic needs of ours and the crazy Black Friday sales, but it's about spending quality time with your loved ones and reflecting on how truly blessed we all are! It doesn't take a holiday to make me realize how absolutely blessed I am, but it does allow me to verbalize it and sound mushy gushy for a day. I know I have the most amazing and supportive boyfriend in the world, and the craziest and funniest family that I love to pieces, which I am truly thankful for!

Anyway, enough mushy gushiness from me! Check out some pictures from a day of exploring in Pismo below!

P.S. It's my boyfriend's birthday so I'd like to wish him a very happy birthday! Thanks for being my best friend and the bestest best boyfriend! I love you to the moon and back, babe!
